PH professional NETWORK COMMITTEES

Collaborate, Innovate, Educate

Our Committee members work to advance the collaborative approach to PH care. Nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, physician assistants, social workers and other healthcare professionals team up to develop innovative research and education initiatives. They provide unique and useful resources to hone our members’ skills. PHPN’s Committees lie at the core of the Network’s mission to unite the professional community in providing the best care possible for PH patients.

Education Committee

Charged with the development of educational assets for the PH community, the Education Committee produces a wealth of novel resources for patients, caregivers and medical professionals. Its projects have included the creation of our Pediatric Patient Handbook and our Ten Things to Do when Diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension wallet card.

Membership Committee

The Membership Committee focuses on engaging our membership in the wide variety of opportunities provided by PHPN. They work to ensure that members are aware of all of the benefits available to them, and continually develop exciting new benefits such as our Mentor Program for new PH professionals.

Practice Committee

As an increasing number of clinics are now treating PH patients, there is an emerging need to share the best practices for PH care with the professional community. The Practice Committee researches, evaluates and disseminates ongoing developments in PH care among our membership.

Symposium Committee

Since 2003, PHPN has organized a biennial Symposium providing targeted PH educational sessions for our diverse membership. Over 400 were in attendance at the 2013 Symposium, representing a wider spectrum of allied health professions than ever before. The Symposium Committee develops programming for the event and ensures that each Symposium attendee engages in an educational and fulfilling experience.
